Plain-English summary
Webasto Product North America, Inc. is recalling certain Hollandia 700 and 600 series and Hollandia TVS 900 series sunroofs. These units were installed as original equipment by Auto Additions, Inc. on various passenger vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the adhesive bond between the sunroof glass and the metal frame can debond.
This debonding increases the risk that the sunroof glass will separate from the vehicle. The separation can develop gradually and may be indicated by metal corrosion around the frame, wind noise, vibration, visual bond separation, or water leakage. If the glass separates, it could create a road hazard, strike a trailing vehicle, and cause a crash.
Owners who have been identified as having an affected sunroof will receive a safety recall notice from Webasto. To determine if a vehicle is affected, owners should review the affected vehicle list provided by Auto Additions, Inc. or visit Webasto's website at www.sunroofcheck.com. Owners can also call Webasto toll-free at 1-888-749-8632. The safety recall began on October 8, 2010.
